Got a couple of the parts in and now have a question. The NTE36 transistor that is on the heatsink (labeled Reg out) does not have a mica insulator between it and the heatsink. Did it ever have one? I don't remember one and I don't know how to tell if it should have one or not. It not having one would be an explanation of how the original accidental short blew those parts (bridging the AC line with the chassis, sending the AC through the REG out).
So is it missing an insulator or is it supposed to not have one?
